Reflection 1 - Why a Family Stay?

Individual time needed: 30 mins

Why does my teacher want me to do a family stay on our trip?

• Practice a foreign language with native speakers in their day-to-day lives
• Become a member of the family and build life-long bonds
• Experience first-hand the customs I am learning about in class

Write:

Make a list of all the things you want to learn and experience while staying with a family abroad.

Questions:

1. Do my goals for the family stay match the goals listed above that my teacher may have?

2. How will I know if I meet my goals?

3. How will I share what I learned in the family stay after the experience and with who will I share this information?
